A new WordPress website.

Start with the pages your customers need: services, work, business details, and a way to get in touch. I write the copy and design the site around your business, with the theme, forms, and features agreed before building.

A redesign worth keeping.

Keep the useful content, domain, and features from your existing site. We review the theme, plugins, navigation, and mobile experience, then agree on what to retain and what needs rebuilding.

A plan for after launch.

WordPress needs ongoing care. Hosting, updates, backups, plugin licenses, and small edits are discussed with your quote so you know what you will manage and what I will handle.

From a first look
to a working website.

You see the direction before launch. We agree on the pages, review the work together, and check the details before making the change.

A refresh or a full redesign?

  1. Review and agree.

    Send your current URL or tell me about the new business. We confirm the audience, pages, features, access, budget, and schedule. For a redesign, we identify the URLs and integrations that need to keep working.

  2. Write, design, refine.

    I write the copy from your business details and build a working design for you to review. You check the facts, wording, imagery, and customer paths before we finalize the agreed pages.

  3. Check and launch.

    We check mobile layouts, navigation, links, forms, and the launch setup. A redesign includes a plan for changed URLs and existing search foundations. We confirm account access and ongoing care at handoff.

A few things
you might be wondering.

Price, copywriting, ownership, and what happens to the site you already have.

Can you redesign my existing WordPress site?

Yes. Send the URL so I can review the current theme, plugins, content, and features. We agree on what to preserve and whether the work calls for focused improvements or a larger rebuild. Existing hosting can stay when it supports the agreed project.

Can you build a new WordPress website?

Yes. We plan the pages, content, forms, and features around your business. WordPress can suit businesses that want to manage content through an admin area; the editing setup and any training or support are confirmed in your scope.

How much does WordPress design or a redesign cost?

WordPress projects are quoted for the site. Page count, the current theme and plugins, required features, content scope, and migration work affect the price. Hosting, premium licenses, and ongoing support are identified separately. Send your URL or project brief for a written quote before work starts.

Who writes the website copy?

I do. Copywriting is included in every website project. You provide accurate business facts, services, offers, and any photos or brand materials you want to use, then review and approve the final wording before launch. Photography and branding work are confirmed separately.

Who owns the site and manages the domain?

You own the finished website. I can manage the domain for you or work with the domain in your own account, whichever you prefer. We confirm WordPress admin access, hosting, handoff, and any third-party licenses in the project agreement. If you later move providers, we agree on the practical transfer details.

What happens to my existing pages and SEO?

We review useful pages, URLs, titles, and internal links before changing the site. If a URL needs to change, redirects are included in the agreed launch plan. Technical and on-page SEO foundations are part of the build; ongoing SEO and Google Business Profile work are scoped separately. Search rankings cannot be guaranteed.

Can you maintain the WordPress site after launch?

Yes. Optional maintenance starts at $50 per month, with WordPress updates, backups, hosting responsibilities, plugin licenses, and the size of edits confirmed for your site. Larger changes and ongoing local SEO are separate. You can also choose to manage the site yourself or use another provider.
